Of  Dreams 
Qvetndi  Hi... 


These  are  the  Hawkettes  --  they  dream  of  the  day  when  they  will  be  high  school  stu- 
dents. Future  G.H.S.  majorettes,  no  doubt,  will  come  from  this  group. 


Blue  Hawaii  was  the  theme  of  the  Junior-Senior  Banquet.  Jimmy  Dalton,  president  of 
the  Junior  class,  was  master  of  ceremony.  Patsy  Bayliss,  Patsy  Gay  and  Wayne  Gibson 
are  having  an  enjoyable  time. 


Many  And  Varied  Are  Our  Dreams 


Dreams  of  being  a Junior  and  re- 
ceiving the  long  awaited  class  ring  have 
at  last  been  realized.  The  Ring  Dance 
will  always  be  a pleasant  memory  for 
the  Class  of  '60. 


Judy  Mattox  enjoys  her  performances  as  head  major- 
ette, She  is  proud  of  the  Hawkettes  which  she  coaches.

Bobby  Hedrick  is  happily  escorting  Ruth  May- 
hew  to  the  throne  where  she  will  be  crowned  May 
Queen.  We  might  add  that  being  Queen  is  a dream 
any  Girl  would  love  to  achieve.

We  borrowed  these  caps  and  gowns- - 
wasn't  it  a "dream”  just  to  try  them  on?

president,  respectively,  of  the  S.  C.  A.  They 
promise  a clean  sweep  if  elected. 


May  Day  in  color  is  very  pretty.  Here  we  see

A lot  of  work  went  into  the  Homecoming  floats.  The  F.  Ho  A.  girls  visualized  a win 
ning  float  and  worked  to  make  theirs  outstanding.  It  received  a ribbon. 


Their  Fashion  Show  in  color  brings  out  well  the  costumes  the  girls  are  modeling.  We 
see  here  "Spacemen"  Eleanor  Fanes  and  Naomi  Nunn;  Margie  McMinnis  in  sleepwear;  Judy 
Dalton  and  Martha  Vaughan  in  sportswear;  and  Linda  Adams  and  Betty  Dalton  in  better 


dresses.

The  theme  of  the  Camera  Club  float  (as  shown  by  the  lettering  on  the 
side  of  the  float)  was  Christian  Education.  The  students  recognize  that 
the  development  of  strength  and  character  are  essential  if  their  dreams 
are  to  be  realized.  Students  on  the  float  are  Wade  Eades  and  Mary  Lynn 
Hiler;  Dennis  Craddock  and  Mary  Ann  Towler;  and  Jerry  Wyatt  and  Brenda 
Bowling. 


Strength  And  Cfiaracfer 

Barbara  Kepley  and  Marshall  Cocke  were  chosen 
by  the  Junior  Class  and  faculty  to  attend  Girl's  and 
Boy's  State  at  Ftadford  and  Blacksburg,  respectively. 
They  were  sponsored  by  the  Gretna  American  Legion 
and  Auxiliary. 


Carole  Sue  Shelton  and  Mrs.  Ewell  Ram-

Convention  held  in  Richmond. 


The  Cheerleaders'  sign  says;  "If  You  Watch  A Sport,  Be  A Sport".  Clean  sportsman- 
ship is  sponsored  by  other  clubs  in  school  also.  Here  we  see  Dolly  Dawson,  Carolyn  Atkin- 
son, Nell  Shelton,  Vickie  Doss,  Sandra  Baldwin,  with  Jimmy  Dalton  as  driver.

During  the  first  month  of  school  quite  an  extensive  testing  program  was  conducted. 
S.  C,  A.  T.  and  S.  T.  E.  P.  became  familiar  words  to  the  high  school  students. 


Mrs.  Ella  Anderson's  Seventh  Grade  colorfully  portrayed  the  story  of  Rip  Van  Winkle. 


By  Assuming  ResponsiSility.., 


The  cap  and  gown  is  an  outward  symbol  of  education.  Class- 
work,  activities,  sports,  assuming  responsibility--all  are  a part 
of  education.  It  is  with  mixed  feelings  that  the  Seniors  don  their 
caps  and  gowns.

In  athletics  the  desire  to  win,  coupled  with 
clean  sportsmanship,  is  a worthwhile  dream 
of  any  student.

Where  except  at  G.H.S.  can  you  find  such  a nice  Senior 
Class?  This  is  typical  of  the  attention  President  Jimmy 
Dalton  receives  at  the  class  meetings. 


And,  where  but  at  G.  H.  S.  would  you  find  such  in- 
dustrious students  as  Barney  Shelhorse,  Wayne  Pickeral, 
Jimmy  Dalton,  Billy  Turnbull,  Marshall  Cocke  and  Jerry

to 

Miss  Myrtle  HaJen 


Once  or  twice  in  a lifetime  each  of  us  meets  a person  who 
profoundly  influences  our  lives.  This  person  has  an  effect 
upon  us  as  to  a way  of  life;  a thoroughness  in  work  that  is 
challenging;  a sense  of  right  that  compels  honesty  and  truth; 
and  a love  for  students  that  causes  us  to  pause  and  remem- 
ber that  we  are  grateful  for  having  known  such  a person. 
We  lovingly  dedicate  the  1960  Junction  to  Miss  Myrtle  Haden.

cessful year.  They  have  instructed, 
encouraged, counseled, and  sponsored 
our  many  school  activities. 

The  results  of  their  valuable 
training  and  guidance  will  assist  us 
in  realizing  our  worth-while  dreams.

Linda  Adams,  a Junior,  is  busy  counting 
lunchroom  money.  She  has  worked  in  the 
office  for  three  years,  checking  in  the  money 
and  getting  out  the  tickets  to  the  grade 
rooms  for  lunches.

dfiose  wfio  Quide  Us-— 


The  faculty  presents  a new  look  this  year--in 
action,  rather  than  posed.  This  looks  more  natural, 
since  we  think  of  them  as  we  see  them  each  day. 

MRS.  LAURA  ANDREWS  is  listing  the  rules  for 
making  book  reports  for  her  English  classes.  The 
Young  Farmer's  class  is  contributing  to  the  community 
as  a whole.  MR.  CLIFFORD  ANGEL,  their  teacher,  is 
quite  proud  of  their  display  and  the  ribbons  won  at  the 
County  Fair.  MR.  L.  HAMPTON  BENTON  thoroughly 
enjoys  directing  the  Band;  at  times  we  wonder  at  his 
patience.  Practices  on  the  farm  are  being  discussed  by 
MR  A,  B.  CULBERTSON  at  one  of  his  Vocational  Agri- 
culture classes.  Bugs,  frogs,  snakes,  leaves,  flowers 
and  "what  have  you",  usually  wind  up  in  collections  for 
MRS.  NINA  P.  EDMUNDS'  Biology  classes. 


Our  Oeacders  Wfio 


New  books  are  received  and  catalogued  each  year. 
MRS.  MADALINE  FITZGERALD,  Librarian,  is  explain- 
ing this  process  to  Frances  Barker.  Planning  units  and 
class  participation  for  her  students  in  Vocational  Home 
Economics  occupies  a large  portion  of  MRS.  EVELYN 
MANN'S  time.  MR.  JAMES  LEE  McKEEVER  enjoys 
his  physics,  chemistry  and  general  science  classes, 
since  today  science  is  more  important  than  ever.  When 
MRS.  FRANCES  MITCHELL  is  not  busy  teaching 
French,  you  will  find  her  helping  grade  pupils  with 
Remedial  Reading.  Boy's  Physical  Education  and  being 
head  coach  completely  fill  MR  RUTLEDGE  S.  MOON'S 
time. 


7ontriSuie  Sfieir  5ime, 


Correcting  themes,  book  reports  and  tests  are  time 
consumingfor  any  English  teacher--  MISS  ELIZABETH 
ORR  finds  one  quite  interesting — May  we  read  it  Miss 
Orr?  MRS,  LOIS  PENDERGRASSteaches  the  commer- 
cial subjects;  we  are  quite  proud  of  the  record  our 
former  students  are  making  in  this  field.  We  see  on 
the  bulletin  board  back  of  MRS.  EWELL  C.  RAMSEY 
"Are  You  in  Orbit?  "--she  feels  English  will  help  us  to 
find  our  place  in  society.  We  all  realize  that  Mathe- 
matics is  essential  in  a scientific  world--  MISS  ETHEL 
RORER  is  busily  laying  the  foundation  for  future  mathe- 
maticians. MR,  SAMUEL  D,  RORER  thoroughly  enjoys 
his  general  science  classes  and  the  Eighth  Graders- 
together  they  could  prove  explosive ! 


The  Commercial  department  has  a new  faculty 
member,  MRS.  CLEMENTINE  W.  SHELTON,  this  year, 
MR.  JOEL  SHELTON  teaches  the  social  sciences,  and 
coaches  basketball,  track  and  the  Midget  football  team. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Shelton  are  both  G.  H.  S.  graduates. 
Another  new  teacher  this  year  is  MR.  THOMAS  TERRY, 
who  having  just  graduated  from  Lynchburg  College, 
teaches  history.  MRS.  ESTELLE  L TYLER  feels  that 
in  teaching  Mathematics  and  sponsoring  The  Junction 
she  is  contributing  to  the  total  development  of  her 
pupils.  Coaching  the  girl's  basketball  team  and  direct- 
ing their  physical  education  keep  MISS  BILLIE  JEAN 
WHEELERbusy.  Jimmy  Shields  seems  to  be  enjoying 
MR.  BAIL  YEATTS'  government  class.

practice  reading  before  MRS.  CARRIE  BERGER'S 
Sixth  Grade.  Arithmetic  in  the  Fifth  Grade  is  the 
foundation  for  higher  mathematics-  MISS  MARIE 
DAVIS  finds  her  pupils  quite  apt.  Good  sportsmanship 
is  practiced  in  play  at  recess — MISS  MARY  EASLEY 
and  MISS  BURL  FEAGEANS  are  going  out  for  super- 
vised play  with  their  Seventh  Grades.  MISS  ELVYN 
FERGUSON  has  just  finished  putting  on  the  board  a

MISS  HELEN  FITZGERALD  is  supervising  her 
First  Graders  in  the  lunch  room- -they  have  to  learn

in  history  from  MISS  MARGARET  FITZGERALD — 
the  bust  in  her  hand  is  of  an  Indian.  Can  you  rearrange 
"Over  the  hill  the  farm  boy  goes"  so  that  the  subject

MISS  MYRTLE  HADEN'S  Sixth  Grade  gets  a lesson  in 
this.  MRS.  LORENE  HINES  and  her  Fourth  Grade 
enjoyed  a Halloween  Party-their  decorations  were 
most  effective.  MRS.  SALLIE  HINES  illustrates  the 
geography  lesson  with  maps-her  Sixth  Grade  enjoys 
making  their  own  maps.

Stevie  Scruggs  is  showing  his  microscope  to  MRS. 
VIRGINIA  HUNT  and  the  Fifth  Grade- -interest  can  be 
started  in  the  grades  for  a scientific  career.  Reading, 
Writing,  and  Arithmetic  are  specifically  learned  in  the 
grades--MRS.  CECILE  LEWIS  has  the  interest  and 
attention  of  her  pupils.  First  Graders  are  the  most 
interesting  of  all  to  watch-we  enjoyed  visiting  MRS. 
THELMA  MATTOX'S  room;  teaching  these  little  people 
to  work  and  play  together  harmoniously  is  quite  im- 
portant. Jimmy  Hunt,  Jr.  is  having  a lesson  in  reading 
readiness.  Thomas  Jefferson  made  a great  contribution 
to  his  native  state,  Virginia,  as  well  as  to  his  country- - 
MRS.  BEATRICE  MOON  and  her  Fifth  Grade  enjoy 
studying  about  him  and  other  great  Americans--we  wish 
to  compliment  the  artist,  Marian  Swain.  MISS  VIVIAN

ing a reading  lesson.

MISS  BESSIE  RORERand  Jean  Berger  are  reading 
in  the  Preprimer  for  their  Frist  Grade  Class — again 
we  say  teaching  these  young  people  is  most  important. 

The  Second  Grade  has  completed  one  step  towards  their 
education- -MRS.  EDNA  SCRUGGS  is  colorfully  teach- 
ing arithmetic  to  Patricia  Bailey  and  her  class.  MISS 
MARY  TONEY  and  her  Fourth  Grade  find  that  reading 
good  books  adds  much  to  their  vocabulary.  Her  stu- 
dents are  most  interested  in  their  new  books.  The 
alphabet  can  be  written  numerous  ways-  MISS  BERTA 
THOMPSON  is  giving  her  Third  Grade  a lesson  in  writ- 
ing - we  could  all  take  a lesson  in  that.  MRS.  ODELL 
WALTINGTON'S  Second  Grade  is  having  a lesson  in 
story-telling.  Robert  Brumfield  had  a most  interest- 
ing story  to  tell. 

This  is  the  Gretna  faculty  - high  school  and  ele- 
mentary - each  making  a contribution  to  the  physical, 
mental  and  moral  growth  of  his  or  her  students.  May 
we  as  students  appreciate  their  efforts  and  make  the 
most  of  our  opportunities !

MRS.  CORA  ROWLAND  directs  the  work  in  the  cafeteria.  Buying  food 
to  feed  approximately  six  hundred  a day  is  part  of  her  duties.  MRS.  LELIA 
DALTON is  busily  making  cornbread--each  worker  has  a certain  dish  that 
is  her  specialty.  Setting  the  table  for  the  lower  grades  is  MRS.  BESSIE 
FRANKLIN  - her  specialty  is  potato  salad.  Without  machinery  it  would  be 
impossible  for  six  women  to  cook  and  clean  up  after  each  lunch  - MRS.  NORA

If  falls  to  MRS.  MATTIE  SHELTON  to  make  cookies  on  soup  day-and  it  takes  large  dish  pans  full

group  works  together  in  preparing  the  food  and  they  rotate  the  cleaning  up  jobs.  Their  hours  are  from 
eight  until  they  finish.  We  should  all  appreciate  their  efforts  to  serve  wholesome  lunches. 


MR.  AND  MRS.  ROBERT  EASTHAM  are  kept  busy  trying  to  keep  the  buildings  and  grounds  looking

The  citizens  of  tomorrow  are 
learning  fundamental  lessons  today. 
These  students  are  presidents  of 
their  respective  classes.  They  typify 
the  hopes  and  ambitions  of  each  in- 
dividual student  in  our  school.

powers  of  interpretation  and  expression  i| 
thru  our  studies. 


Dixie  Knautz  and  Donald  Davis  are 
diagramming  a sentence  before  Mrs. 
Ewell  Ramsey's  class.  The  correct  use 
of  English,  both  written  and  spoken,  is 
a necessity.  Studying  formal  grammar 
helps  one  to  more  readily  detect  errors 
in  the  construction  of  sentences. 


The  Library  offers  assistance  for 
the  English  classes.  Reference  books, 
magazines,  novels  and  encyclopedias 
are  used  by  students.  Notice  the  bulletin 
board  which  features  careers  --  mater-

the  one  that  might  interest  you. 


Miss  Elizabeth  Orr,  Doris  Walker,

Alice  Sapp  and  Richard  Jones  find 
material  for  an  English  IV  theme  in  the

express  themselves. 


Students  who  are  members  of  the 
Library  Club  receive  instruction  from 
Mrs.  Madeline  Fitzgerald,  Librarian, 
in  Library  practices.  Linda  McMinnis 
one  of  the  members,  is  checking  the  file 
for  cards  on  books  for  parallel  reading. 


A panel  discussion  can  be  quite 
lively,  especially  when  conducted  by

Geometry  but  quite  hard  to  draw  on  the 
board.  Bill  placed  exceptionally  high  in 
mathematics  onthe  National  Merit  Scho- 
larship Test. 


Mathematics  has  become  a neces- 
sity for  those  students  who  plan  to  con- 
tinue their  education.  It  is  the  basis  for 
many  courses  in  college  and  is  a require- 
ment for  entrance  in  most.  Our  mathe- 
matics department  offers  courses  to 
meet  these  requirements. 


Algebra  is  necessary  as  a founda- 
tion for  future  study  in  mathematics. 
Is  CarolJo  Moore  sh,owing  Larry  May-

is  it  the  other  way  around?  No  one  but 
Larry  knew  this  picture  was  being

If  we  read  and  listen  to  news  reports, 
we  realize  that  Science  is  playing  an 
important  role  throughout  the  world. 
Here  at  Gretna  High  School  we  are  given 
an  opportunity  to  study  General  Science, 
Biology,  Chemistry  and  Physics.  A 
study  of  these  subjects  makes  us  appre- 
ciate the  seemingly  everyday  things  a- 
bout  us. 


Biology  classes  are  made  interest- 
ing by  bringing  into  the  classroom  speci- 
mens to  study.  Here  we  see  Kenneth 
Shelhorse  with  an  honest  to  goodness 
live  snake --you  can  have  him  Kenneth, 
we  don't  want  him. 


The  Eighth  Grade  Science  Club  is 
busy  making  a world  for  their  float. 
They  recogonize  the  importance  of 
science  all  over  the  world.  Here  we  see 
Betty  Dalton,  Joyce  Divers,  Smitty 
Smith,  Dwight  Love  and  Carolyn  Perkins 
hard  at  work. 


Martha  Berger  is  conducting  for 
her  section  of  Eighth  Grade  Science  an 
experiment  showing  the  effects  of 
oxidation. 


Social  Studies  Keeps  Us  ^Jnformed  Of  News 


f 


E.  W.  Myers,  Donnie  Graham,  Bill  Mann  and  Ron- 
nie Compton  are  having  a panel  discussion  on  the 
current  steel  strike  in  their  Civics  class.  We  see  in 
the  background  that  the  steel  strike  is  on  - also  an 
announcement  of  a test. 


The  Senior  Government  Class  saw  the  movie 
"United  Nations  for  Peace"  during  U.N.  Week.  Wayne 
Younger,  Jimmy  Shields  and  Bobby  Gay  are  of  the  age 
to  be  interested  in  peace.  Bobby  runs  the  projector 
frequently  for  other  classes. 


Spirited  discussions  on  current  problems;  under- 
standing our  social,  political  and  economic  background; 
and  learning  to  become  useful  citizens  are  all  a part 
of  our  Social  Studies  Classes.

United  Nations  Week  was  observed  by  the  Govern- 
ment Classes.  Emily  Rowland  and  Margie  McMinnis 
are  looking  at  a minature  of  the  U.N.  buildings  and  flags 
which  is  on  display  in  front  of  the  blue  and  white  U.N. 
flag. 


Commercial  Classes  Off  ev  A Business  Sdue^ition 


Our  Commercial  Department  is  proud  of  the  re- 
cord our  students  have  made  after  graduation  in  the 
business  field.  Each  year  a large  number  of  these 
commercial  graduates  accept  employment  in  office 
jobs. 


Amy  Hines  and  Jewel  Roark  are  taking  Typing  this 
year.  They  plan  to  take  more  business  classes  next 
year  when  they  will  be  Seniors.  After  graduation  they 
hope  to  be  able  to  get  a job  with  this  training. 


Shorthand  or  Greek,  its  all  the  same  to  us  because 
we  can't  read  it.  Barbara  Kepley  and  Linda  Atkinson 
have  taken  or  are  taking  shorthand,  bookkeeping,  typ- 
ing I and  typing  11. 


The  typing  classes  are  given  experience  in  typing 
mimeograph  sheets.  Linda  Adams,  a Junior,  is  getting 
her  first  try  at  one.  After  graduation  Linda  will  make 
some  one  a good  secretary  - she  has  worked  in  the 
office  for  three  years. 


Band  Offers  Opportunities  in  Music 


Charles  Allen  enjoys  playing  the  big  drum  and 
Richie  Fratzkethe  snare  drum  in  the  beginners  group. 


Issuing  uniforms  to  the  Band  members  is  quite  a 
job.  Mrs.  Marjorie  Dudley,  Chairman  of  the  Band 
Committee,  spent  considerable  time  finding  uniforms 
to  fit  all  members. 


Some  members  of  the  Little  Band  may  be  small, 
but  you  can  sure  hear  them!  Glenn  Bolling  has  found 
away  to  get  up  in  the  world  fast.  He  is  enjoying  play- 
ing his  trumpet  too. 


The  Band  is  divided  into  beginners  and  a more 
advanced  group.  The  members  come  from  the  Fifth 
Grade  through  High  School.  The  group  participated  in 
the  County  Christmas  Music  Festival,  the  Chatham  and 
Gretna  Christmas  parades,  the  Homecoming  parade 
and  they  entertained  the  Parent- Teachers  Association 
in  December. 


P6y  sical  Gduc^tion  See^s  5o  Develop  Co-ordinafion 


Health  and  physical  co-ordination  are  stressed 
in  both  the  boy's  and  girl's  physical  program.  Due  to 
crowded  conditions,  the  classes  are  limited  to  the 
Eighth,  Ninth,  and  Tenth  Grades.  The  students  enjoy 
the  competition  offered  by  participating  in  games  and 
exercises. 


Brenda  Lovelace,  Ellen  Smith  and  Mary  Alice 
Shelhorse  seem  to  be  having  a good  time.  They  are 
playing  in  a hard  fought  game  of  volley-ball. 


Virgil  Hedrick,  Kenny  Saunders  and  Lionel  Rey- 
nolds took  time  out  from  Physical  Education  to  pose 
for  us.  They  seemed  to  be  enjoying  basketball  free 
throw  when  we  barged  in. 


These  four  young  ladies  (Bonnie  Collins,  Anita 
Bowles,  Arlene  Adams,  and  Carolyn  Perkins)  have  just 
finished  their  gymnastics  and  are  ready  now  for  a game 
of  volley-ball.  These  are  all  Eighth  Graders. 


Practical  Home  And  3arni  Practices  ^Augfit  9n  ij 


The  Tenth  Grade  class  was  studying 
sewing  when  we  visited  them.  Nancy 
Hodges  and  Judy  Rowland  are  learning 
how  to  handle  a sewing  machine.  Over 
to  the  left  and  in  the  background  the 
girls  are  discussing  and  studying  pat- 
terns. 


The  Future  Homemakers  enjoyed 
arranging  the  bulletin  board  before 
school  opened  in  September.  They  re- 
minded us  that  the  F.H.A.  girls  are  Bell 
Ringers.  Linda  Adams,  Patsy  Bayliss 
andJean  Hedrick  have  arranged  a most 
attractive  board. 


The  Homemaking  classes  study 
units  on  foods,  clothing,  home  decora- 
tion, personal  grooming,  health,  child 
care  and  other  projects  around  the  home. 
Whether  the  students  go  further  with 
their  education  or  decide  on  marriage 
after  graduation,  they  find  these 
practices  quite  helpful. 


The  Senior  Homemaking  class,  i 
while  studying  foods,  were  shown  slides  I 
on  correct  procedure  of  making  salads  j 
by  Mrs.  Evelyn  Mann.  As  the  slides  | 
were  shown,  explanations  were  given.  |

Farm  practices  are  studied  and  put 
into  use  by  the  members  of  the  Vocation-

work.  The  records  which  they  keep  on 
these  projects  aid  them  in  determining 
their  success. 


Lowell  Rowland  won  the  tractor

The  Senior  Class  has  sixty-seven  members,  all 
interested  in  that  long  awaited  diploma.  They  have  out 
grown  the  Senior  room  and  are  the  first  Senior  Class  to 
have  been  divided  into  two  homerooms.  Although  pre- 
vious classes  have  been  large,  they  remained  together 
despite  crowded  conditions.  Even  though  the  class  has 
been  divided  physically,  they  have  worked  together  to 
make  their  class  one  of  the  finest  to  graduate  from  G.

fun,  but  it  was  work.  They've

Throughout  the  year  we  have  had 
specialoccasions--Ho m ecom  ing, 
Ring  Dance,  May  Day,  Senior  Play, 
Fashion  Show  and  others.  These,  too, 
have  been  a part  of  our  dreams  and 
will  live  on  in  the  future  as  pleasant 
memories. 


Homecoming  Queen  And  Attend^ints  ^ 


Maid-Of-Honor 

GAYNELLE  TAYLOR 


Homecoming  Queen 

MARTHA  VAUGHAN 


- ^ 


Sponsored  By  QirVs  Monogviim  CluS 


The  Queen's  float  was  sponsored  by  the 
Girl's  Monogram  Club,  On  it  were  the  repre- 
sentatives from  each  grade.  The  float  was 
decorated  with  red  foil  paper  and  white  crepe 
paper  fringe.  At  the  back,  on  the  arch,  Mono- 
gram Club  was  in  silver  with  red  roses  add- 
ing color.  Streamers  of  red  ribbon  with  the 
grades  on  them  were  in  front  of  each  repre- 
sentative. At  the  right  we  get  a close  up  of  the 
Senior  girls,  Martha  Vaughan  and  Gaynelle 
Taylor  (at  this  time  no-one  knew  which  was 
queen). 


At  the  bottom,  on  the  first  step,  we  see  Caro- 
lyn Matherly,  Eighth  Grade  and  Sandra  Hen- 
drix, Ninth  Grade;  second  step,  Marie  Inge, 
Tenth  Grade  and  Sally  Pillow,  Eleventh  Grade; 
and  on  the  last  step,  Martha  Vaughan  and  Gay- 
nelle Taylor.

On  Qfie  Pouring  Rain  Band  Phyed  on^  |i 


"Into  every  life  some  rain  must  fall" 
we've  heard,  and  it  sure  fell  on  the  Home- 
coming parade!  It  drizzled  most  of  the 
day,  but  really  rained  hard  during  the 
parade.  You  can  see  it  glistening  on  the 
highway  as  the  Majorettes,  Band  and  Hawk- 
ettes  approach. 


The  cheerleaders  followed  the  Hawk- 
ettes  in  an  opened  convertible.  They  were 
already  for  the  football  game  that  night. 
The  game  was  later  postponed. 


5fie  MAjoveiies  And  H^iw^ettes  Paraded  And 


LET'B.RGLLTO  VI  CTa  RJ^j 


BETA  CLUB  - FIRST  PLACE 

The  Beta  Float  in  the  club's  colors  of  gold  and  black,  with  Jewel  Roark  and  Bill  Love  on  it,  de- 
picted the  goals  of  the  club,  as  well  as  the  spirit  of  Homecoming. 


FUTURE  FARMERS  OF  AMERICA  - SECOND  PLACE 


The  F.  F.  A.  in  yellow  and  green  was  beautiful  and  possibly  damaged  more  than  any  other  by  the 
rain.  The  yellow  sunflower  which  Kenny  Saunders  is  standing  by  and  the  yellow  and  green  ear  of  corn 
which  Lionel  Reynolds  holds  are  symbolic  of  the  work  of  the  F.  F.  A. 


Qfie  Jloats  ^loafed  By!! 


EIGHTH  GRADE  SCIENCE  CLUB  - THIRD  PLACE 

The  Eighth  Grade  Science  Float  with  Melba  Creasy  and  Gail  Witcher  are  showing  that  "Science 
Around  the  World"  is  important  today. 


FUTURE  HOMEMAKERS  OF  AMERICA  - FOURTH  PLACE 

The  Future  Homemakers  are  on  a "Rocket  Ride"  and  want  you  to  be  "Fashion  Wise"  in  this  Space 
Age.  Rebecca  Dalton,  space  man;  Nancy  Howell,  Linda  Adams,  Jean  Hedrick,  Linda  Bayliss,  Judy 
Dalton  and  Kathy  Harrison  are  the  models. 


THE  VARSITY  CLUB  won  honorable  mention  with 
"Blast  Those  Rebels"  showing  what  they  would  like  to 
do  to  Appomattox  in  the  football  game.  Richard  Cocke, 
Joe  Powell,  Tommy  Mayhew  and  Tommy  Merricks  are 
members  of  the  Midget  Team. 

Honorable  mention  also  went  the  LIBRARY  CLUB 
who  say  "If  you  must  be  a worm,  be  a bookworm." 
Coy  Simpson  surrounded  by  books  is  looking  at  the 
worm.  This  float  was  much  more  interesting  than 
shown  by  the  picture. 

THE  PARROT  STAFF  advise  you  to  "Read  the 
Parrot".  Riding  the  float  are  Judy  Davis,  Betty  Tate, 
Emma  Craddock,  Shelby  Trent,  Aubrey  Yeatts,  and 
Earline  Dalton. 

THE  CAMERA  CLUB  show  Christian  education 
from  first  grade  thru  graduation  with  Wade  Eades  and 
Mary  Lynn  Hiler  as  First  Graders;  Dennis  Craddock 
and  Mary  Ann  Towler,  High  School  students;  and  Jerry 
Wyatt  and  Brenda  Bowling  as  Seniors. 


The  GRETNA  TRI-HI-Y  wanted  to 
"Blossom  Out  and  Skunk  'em".  They 
were  quite  colorful  with  the  black  skunk 
and  blossom  pedals  around  the  necks  of 
Iris  Hullender,  Phyllis  Rowland,  Emily 
Rowland,  Mittie  Lou  Edmunds,  Carol 
AnnRowles,  Margaret  Yeatts  and  Mar- 
cella Frazier. 

Barbara  Kepley  and  Carroll  Lee 
Davidson  are  riding  the  PIEDMONT 
TRI-HI-Y  and  GRETNA  HI-Y  float  which 
stands  for  "A  Free  Christian  Nation." 
These  two  floats  were  sponsored  by 
the  three  clubs  together. 

The  Boy  Scout  Troop  represented 
the  STUDENT  COOPERATIVE  AS- 
SOCIATION with  the  slogan  "Support 
your  country  thru  your  S.C.A." 


This  is  the  future  G.  H.  S.  football 
team.  The  new  blue  and  red  suits  are 
quite  colorful  and  tell  of  two  groups 
known  as  the  BLUE  TEAM  and  the  RED 
TEAM. 

THE  PEP  float  suggests  "Sports- 
manship in  All  Sports".  Roy  Custer 
helped  to  construct  the  arch.  On  the 
float  representing  football  are  Keith 
Pendergrass  and  Mike  Scruggs,  with 
John  Blum,  Jr.  for  baseball  and  Leonard 
Austin  for  basketball. 

The  jalopy  was  thrown  in  for  good 
measure- no  one  will  claim  it.  Calvin 
Perkins  is  chauffer  for  Jim  Baldwin  and 
Clarence  Dawson. 


The  cheerleaders  were  presented 
with  a yellow  mum  corsage  at  the  dance. 
They  were  all  ready  for  the  game  which 
didn't  materialize.  Row  1:  Dolly  Daw- 
son, Peggy  Saunders,  Carolyn  Atkinson. 
Row  2:  Sandra  Baldwin,  Nell  Shelton, 
Ellen  Smith.  Row  3:  Anne  Moon  and 
Patsy  Yeatts.

Jimmy  Dalton  and  Billy  Turnbull

the  Homecoming  dance.  The  football 
game  was  called  off  because  of  pouring 
rain,  but  the  dance  was  a success.

The  Junior-Senior  Banquet  was  held  May  15,  1959 
with  Blue  Hawaii  as  the  theme.  The  Governor  of 
Hawaii,  Jimmy  Dalton,  gave  the  "Aloha".  The  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States,  Patsy  Gay,  reponded  with 
"A  Trip  to  be  Remembered".  The  cafeteria  was  at- 
tractively decorated  with  blue  streamers  and  silver 
stars.  Palm  trees  gently  "swayed"  in  the  breeze. 
Tropical  fruits  and  flowers  graced  the  table.

The  Ring  Dance  was  the  most  important  event  for  the  Juniors 
during  the  year.  The  ceremony  of  receiving  their  rings  from 
their  guests  was  both  beautiful  and  dignified.  The  gymnasium 
was  decorated  with  lavender  and  purple  streamers.  The  gold  ring 
with  a purple  set  was  in  the  center.  Palms  were  around  the  sides 
of  the  ring.

Senior  Class  Presents 


Lowell  Rowland  and  Jimmy  Dalton  do  not  seem  to  be  excited 
over  the  mouse,  even  if  Shelby  Trent  is  laying  the  law  down.  Could 
Carole  Sue's  charms  have  Carroll  Lee  Davidson  awed?  Ma  Shelby 
seems  to  be  disgusted  with  "Pa"  Lowell.  The  entire  cast  is  relax- 
ing and  seem  to  be  enjoying  themselves.  Jimmy  Dalton  has  made 
his  point  and  Dianne  Colbert  is  quite  down  cast.

Henry  Irving,  druggist Lowell  Rowland 

Irene  Irving,  his  wife Shelby  Trent 

Andy  Irving,  their  son Carroll  Lee  Davidson 

Tom  Irving,  Henry's  bachelor  brother Jimmie  Dalton

Clark  Kent,  Alice's  sweetheart Richard  Jones 

Carol  Brustor,  banker's  daughter Dianne  Colbert 

Alice  Irving,  ambitious  daughter Barbara  Kepley 


Barbara  Kepley,  an  ambitious  young  girl,  appears  to  be  happy 
with  her  sweetheart,  Richard  Jones.  Carroll,  Barbara  and  Shelby 
are  admiring  gifts  in  this  scene.  Son  Carroll  has  the  tummy-ache 
and  Ma  Shelby  is  checking-up  on  him  as  all  Mothers  do.  Coming  down 
the  stairs,  Jimmie  Dalton  seems  to  be  warding  off  something. 

Doris  Walker  and  Frank  Robertson  were  stage  managers.  The 
sound  effect  was  quite  realistic,  but  of  course  prompting  wasn't 
necessary. 

The  Senior  Class  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  express 
their  appreciation  to  Miss  Elizabeth  Orr  for  coaching  the  play.

Planning  And  IPor^ing  On  Ofie  Annual 


The  entire  staff  enjoyed  the  advertisement  campaign.  The 
major  portion  of  the  advertising  was  secured  on  one  day  when 
six  groups  visited  Danville,  Chatham,  Lynchburg,  Altavists, 
Brookneal  and  Gretna.  As  usual  Juniors  were  in  each  group 
to  learn  salesmanship  from  the  "experienced"  Seniors. 

Martha  Vaughan,  Nell  Shelton,  Wayne  Younger,  Kenneth 
Shelhorse  and  Emma  McDaniel  are  planning  their  trip  to  Brook- 
neal. 

You  can  bet  these  girls  didn't  use  this  truck  for  their  ad 
trip,  but  they  had  fun  just  the  same.  Katherine  Moorefield, 
Linda  Atkinson,  Jewel  Roark,  Patsy  Moore  and  Judy  Mattox  had 
success  in  Altavista. 

Bill  Love,  Patsy  Yeatts,  Anne  Moon,  Linda  Graham,  and 
Sammy  Pickeralenjoyedtheir  trip  to  Lynchburg  in  Bill's  station 
wagon- -result,  more  advertisements. 

Don't  be  fooled,  these  young  ladies  (Jean  Hedrick,  Patsy 
Yeatts,  Carolyn  Atkinson,  and  Patsy  Bayliss)  didn't  go  bicycling 
through  Gretna  for  ads.  — Patsy  chauffered  the  group. 

Charles  Mattox  had  the  pleasure  of  taking  Dixie  Knautz, 
Gaynelle  Taylor  and  Barbara  Kepley  on  their  trip  to  Chatham. 

The  day  was  a success- not  only  was  the  annual  assured  finan- 
cially, but  the  staff  had  received  valuable  lessons  in  human 
nature  and  salesmanship.

The  baseball  team  had  a wonderful  season,  winning  10  games  and  losing  1.  They  won  the  District 
Championship  by  defeating  Nelson  County  5 to  2.  This  team  was  the  backbone  of  the  Gretna  Connie 
Mack  team  which  won  the  State  Championship  and  had  the  pleasure  of  playing  at  Newport,  Tenneesee 
where  they  won  the  Southeastern  National  Conference  title.  They  went  on  to  play  in  the  Connie  Mack 
World  Series  at  St.  Joseph,  Missouri.

It  was  a standing  joke  that  Mr.  Moon  could  call  out  to  the  team  on  the  field:  "Wayne,  get  on  the 
ball",  and  the  whole  team  would  hustle.  It  was  a coincidence  that  this  page,  with  the  exception  of  Billy 
Turnbull,  turned  out  to  be  a "Wayne"  page,  however  they  were  all  first  team.
